Chapter 443
She had been preparing for more than a year and had produced quite a lot of clothes. Jian Zhiqing’s former room had become the bridal room, while her previous one had been turned into a workshop, filled with various fabrics and machines. Since many of her clothes were made entirely by hand, she spent a lot of time grinding away in the system; otherwise, she truly couldn’t have created so many garments in such a short period.
She had also hired two young and beautiful sales assistants, who had undergone extensive training. Here, they had to wear uniforms and were not allowed to wear their own clothes. However, even the uniforms for this women’s clothing store looked much nicer and more fashionable than the clothes sold outside.
A black short blazer with a skirt, paired with a pair of black high heels, inevitably made for an eye-catching outfit. This uniform was specially designed by Qin Xiangnuan, which was very flattering for the figure. The raised waistline created a visual effect of elongating the silhouette and made the legs appear longer. Paired with high heels that boosted height, the outfit emanated a white-collar OL (office lady) vibe rather than that of a restaurant headwaitress.
Jian Zhiqing drove the car and brought the clothes into the store. The car had just been purchased; with the clothing store opening, there would likely be many trips, so it had become necessary mainly for transporting goods.
Qin Xiangnuan and the two employees worked together to hang up the clothes. It was now deep autumn, and the most worn items were sweaters, coats, and other thick, textured clothing.
Thus, this batch of inventory consisted mostly of woolen coats, as well as autumn attire like other overcoats and skirts.
The two employees, one named Li Yuan and the other Zhang Lulu, were both locals from Capital City. The wages Qin Xiangnuan offered were not low, and they even got to wear such attractive uniforms -- frankly, both of them wished they could take these clothes home.
"Where did these beautiful clothes come from? We’ve never seen such designs before," Li Yuan carefully hung the clothes, each one she reluctantly touched. The fabric was soft, the styles unique, and the decorations so exquisite they had never seen them before, especially the outfits the boss had coordinated on the mannequins. A long dress with a pair of black boots, topped with a bright red woolen coat, and a red hat made the look increasingly pleasant to the eye, catching one’s gaze stubbornly.
Another piece was a short sweater paired with loose-fitting pants that had a high waistline, which when worn, elongated the legs, and yet another was a white sweater matched with a plaid long skirt reaching the ankles, plus a light brown scarf, creating a somewhat artistic vibe. This set was suitable for students as well as mature but stylish women.
The clothes on the mannequins, from garments to shoes to scarves, as well as accessories like bags, belts, and sweater chains, all complemented each other beautifully. It is hard to believe anyone would not like such an ensemble.
Women naturally have an irresistible pursuit for clothes and dressing up. Not to mention others, even the two employees were now eyeing the few outfits at the entrance and wanting to claim them as their own.
Of course, Cafe’s women’s clothing was really expensive. Even a simple pair of pants sold for several hundred yuan, and an outfit like the one worn by the model above could cost five or six hundred yuan. They were nice, but indeed, they were too expensive.
"Would anyone buy them, given they’re so expensive?" Li Yuan whispered to Zhang Lulu. Don’t blame her for being so anxious; hanging these clothes felt like handling money itself, as holding the garments in her hands was indeed very expensive, easily costing hundreds of yuan, with the priciest reaching into the thousands.
